2005 Hyundai XG350 Vehicle speed control Problems

“While following a line of cars through a local city street my car accelerated coming close to the car in front. I brake, the car did not respond. I used all my strength on the brake pedal and the car responded by going faster. To avoid a collision, I swerved to the right into a convenience store driveway. However, I hit the bumper of the car in front of me and this finally stopped my car. I read on a website that this is not an uncommon problem with this model. Why has there been no recall to solve this problem?”

“My 2005 Hyundai XG350 has experienced sua, (sudden unwanted acceleration) twice in the last 3 months. This is a very serious and dangerous safety problem that has been reported to Hyundai motor america and the NHTSA too many times. Twice, I pulled into a parking spot and while applying the brake, the car accelerated and I was unable to stop it , even when I stepped on the brake very hard. I wonder why, after so many complaints to Hyundai motor america and the NHTSA, that this very dangerous safety issue didn't warrant a recall, since this problem goes back to 2006.”

“I purchased this 2005 XG350 in 2007 with 11,600 miles and under warranty and today's mileage is 62,600 miles. When starting vehicle today husband stated car seemed to be running a little rough and I said it has been like that since we put the new battery in december 2010. We drove 30 miles at average of 55-60 MPH with little starting or stopping. After turning into the parking lot we had to drive about 200 feet to park. He took his foot off the accelerator and then stepped on the brake to stop. …”

“I was almost parked at the curb in front of a drugstore with my foot on brake easing into spot when car lurched forward, jumped the curb and violently crashed into the concrete wall about 6-7 feet away. Wall, not brake, stopped car. People came out from store as crash was heard/felt inside. I don't know what would have happened to me if I didn't have seatbelt on. As it was, my chest was extremely sore for several weeks from seatbelt. Airbag didn't deploy. Car was totaled thank god as I would never drive it again. So many complaints with same issue no recalls or service bulletins. …”

“On three occasions over about 4-5 month period ending july 2010 I experienced sudden unintended acceleration with my 2005 Hyundai xgl350. The first 2 times I was stopped at a red light and the car started to accelerate unexpectedly. I already had the brake depressed for the traffic stop and had to press the brake as hard as possible to prevent the car from taking off. The unexpected acceleration surge lasted about 5 seconds then ended. The car did move forward but in both cases I did not have any injuries or damages. I did not take the car in for service after either of these incidents. …”
